arable field upon the sand adjoining, Veronica Buxbaumii plenti- 

 fully. Prior's wood will afford many an interesting plant, amongst 

 which may be noticed Aquilegia vulgaris (sometimes with white 

 flowers), Orobus tuberosus and Serratula tinctoria. 



The chalk-quarries round Guildford will amply repay investi- 

 gation, and are rich in calcareous plants : in addition to those of 

 the Compton and Wanborough stations will be found Cichorium 

 Intybus, growing in the greatest profusion near St. Catherine's 

 Hill ; Allium vineale is located in one spot on the Stoke road ; 

 Chenopodium olidum will be found at the foot of an old wall in 

 Quarry-street. Isatis tinctoria grows in the greatest profusion, 

 principally from the fissures on the perpendicular face of the 

 chalk in the Shalford quarry ; here also will be found Reseda 

 Luteola ; and towards St. Martha's Chapel Brachypodium pin- 

 natum occurs in a disused chalk -pit. 



In this neighbourhood Mr. Mill has recorded Fumaria parvi- 

 flora and Bupleurum rotundifolium (Phytol. i. 40). 



The central or great division is that which is occupied by the 

 cultivated portions of the Shanklin sand, in which will be found 

 the following rare or local plants. Smyrnium Olusatrum, by the 

 side of the Shalford road, opposite the park -paling. Dianthus 

 plumarius, in the greatest profusion on an old wall in Shalford- 

 street, and on the wall of Westbrook Park. Saponaria officinalis 

 in a hedge-bank near St. Martha's Chapel. Corydalis claviculata, 

 sparingly on St. Martha's Hill, amongst the trees. This delicate 

 plant is abundant in a withy-bed below Perry dean field (Thorn- 

 combe-street) , also in a wet coppice at Hambledon Heath. Mr. 

 Mill (Phytol. i. 41) records Listera Nidus-avis as growing " in a 

 heathy wood between Guildford and St. Martha's Chapel." Hyos- 

 cyamus niger, by the road-side against Stone-bridge wharf, by no 

 means a common plant. Cyperus fuscus, on the margins of 

 Peat pond, on Shalford Common.* Impatiens fulva; by the 

 sides of the Tillingbourne at Chilworth this beautiful exotic is 

 naturalized, growing in the greatest profusion, and is equally 

 abundant by the sides of the Wey to its junction with the
